is there a way i can read the output of a unix command using something
akin to the file:read() functions? i'd like to open a pipe and get back
a file
that i can do reads from. something like:
{ ok, FP } = file:open( File, read )
file:read( FP, ?BUFSIZE )
i know about os:cmd(), but that reads the whole thing at once,
and the files i'm reading are way too big for that.
thanks
